Danie Craven Stadium lies roughly 40 km east of Cape Town. Air quality at Danie Craven Stadium is generally favourable thanks to the Cape's characteristically windy climate, with the southeasterly wind providing strong natural ventilation through much of the year. Vehicle traffic and vineyard and wine estate operations contribute the main local emissions, occasionally noticeable on still winter mornings. This mirrors what's typical for towns across the wider Cape region.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Danie Craven Stadium right now?
On 20 September 2026, overall air quality in Danie Craven Stadium is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 69.3/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (PM1: 69.3/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Danie Craven Stadium?
The rare still winter day is when golfers at Danie Craven Stadium most notice reduced air quality, as emissions from vineyard and wine estate operations linger without the Cape's characteristic ventilation. Through most of the year, the reliable southeaster keeps conditions clear across the fairways, a seasonal pattern typical of the wider Cape region.
Are air quality levels in Danie Craven Stadium based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
